CARS24 has launched its online used car buying experience in South Australia as the start-up brand seeks to disrupt Australia’s $55 billion used car market.
Based in Adelaide, chief commercial officer Tony Barlow says the Australian launch of CARS24 has already exceeded the start-ups expectations. The company has a headcount of more than 130 people and more than 1000 used vehicles in stock across Australia.
“The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, we have received dozens of five-star reviews and the demand is there,” Barlow says.
“We are excited to continue our nationwide expansion and offer the people of South Australia a smarter way to purchase a new used car, via our convenient and trustworthy online platform.”
He says CARS24 has plans to open more new markets in 2021 and operate nationwide in 2022.
According to Barlow, South Australians will have access to CARS24’s online used car buying experience – all from their own home, purchase in under five minutes with their new car delivered direct to their door within days.
Unlike existing online marketplaces that facilitate buying through a dealer or between private sellers, CARS24 owns every car it sells and offers a 300-point inspection to ensure car quality which involves technicians checking and testing every aspect of the car – and refurbishing, reconditioning and removing imperfections before it’s delivered to the customer.
CARS24 offers a seven-day test drive with 100% money-back guarantee. Every car also comes with a six-month unlimited warranty and free at-home delivery.
